'''Prenatal development''' ({{ety|la|natalis|relating to birth}}) includes the [[embryonic development|development of the embryo]] and of the [[fetus
In [[human]] [[pregnancy]], prenatal development is also called '''antenatal development'''. The [[human embryonic development|development of the human embryo]] follows [[human fertilization|fertilization]], and continues as [[Fetus#Development in humans|fetal development]]. By the end of the tenth week of [[Gestational age (obstetrics)|gestational age]] the [[embryo]] has acquired its basic form and is referred to as a [[fetus]]. The next period is that of fetal development where many organs become fully developed. This fetal period is described both topically (by organ) and chronologically (by time) with major occurrences being listed by gestational age.
